What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 673777 of PE 0207163F. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
Continue CSP. Complete SIP 4 fielding. Continue SIP-5 software development. Continue SIP-3 Tape 3 software development.
Funding increased due to SIP-5 (AIM-120D3) and SIP-3 Tape 3 (AIM-120D) development efforts both in the design and development phases.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
Continue CSP. SIP 4 FCA third quarter and finish operational testing (OT) fourth quarter. Continue SIP 5 software development. SIP 3 Tape 2 will complete FCA in first quarter and complete fielding third quarter. Begin SIP-3 Tape 3 software development with a planned contract award in the third quarter.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 22.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 24.5 |
| FY2027 | Request | 27.1 |
This activity is 51% of project 673777's FY2027 request and 51% of PE 0207163F's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the program-element page.
